Prospector More Than Doubles The Size Of The ML Project Through Claim Staking And Provides Update On Maiden Drill Program

(MENAFN- Newsfile Corp) Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 29, 2025) - Prospector Metals Corp. (TSXV: PPP) (OTCQB: PMCOF) (FSE: 1ET) (" Prospector " or the " Company ") is pleased to announce that it has more than doubled the size of its flagship ML Project in the Yukon ("ML"). It is also pleased to provide an update to the ongoing drill program, with the first assay results expected in the coming weeks.

Rob Carpenter, Ph.D., PGeo., President, CEO and Co-Chairman of Prospector, stated: "Our pace of drilling has exceeded our expectations while still being within our approved budget. To date, we are currently 970m ahead of schedule. While we continue to confidently spot new holes based on our real time visual interpretations of drill core, this fast drill pace has created a back log for sample cutting on site as well as sample analysis at our assay laboratory. We are systematically sampling the entire hole in order to capture a complete assay picture, and this large amount of sampling is also slowing down our pace for assay results. We are expecting a large amount of assays in the next few weeks and as a result, we anticipate our first release to encompass multiple holes drilled at the Bueno, Java and Rubble Targets."

Drill Update

A total of 3600m meters over 20 holes have been completed on the ML Project to date (Table 1). This is 970m ahead of schedule. Observations from the ongoing drill program have confirmed the mineralized corridor from Skarn Ridge to Bueno is hosted within north-northeast trending structural zones with near vertical dips. Previous interpretations of the targets had not accounted for these north-northeast trends, and as a consequence, historical drilling did not adequately test the structural controls on mineralization. Prospector is the first Company to recognize the importance of north-northeast trending structures and current drilling is successfully extending these zones along trend and to depth.

Target	# of Holes	Meters Drilled
Bueno	9	1554
Skarn Ridge	8	1474
Java	2	299
Rubble	1	282
Total to date	20	3609

Claim Staking

Prospector has recently expanded the size of the ML project through claim staking. Prospector owns these new claims 100% and are not subject to any third-party royalty. The size of the project has been increased from 4,757 ha (47.57 km²) to 10,869 ha (108.69km²) representing a 128.48% increase in the size of the project. The project now consists of 552 mineral claims, of which 296 claims are newly staked. The claims were staked to cover new target areas generated through analysis of regional historical data, LiDAR and WorldView-3 remote sensing data, as well as new concepts developed during the ongoing 2025 drill program.
